The centre is the brainchild of owner and operator James Honeyman. Originally from Grindrod, he brought his idea to Salmon Arm because he wanted to share with people the enjoyment he finds in gaming.
91裸聊视频淚 think more than anything I just want it to be fun,91裸聊视频� Honeyman said. 91裸聊视频淚 know that91裸聊视频檚 not a very business-like approach, but for me I like to get together with people and hang out.91裸聊视频�
When conducting the research for the gaming centre, Honeyman went to Vancouver to see what other VR gaming centres had done. Honeyman noticed that people would come into the gaming centres, play and then leave.
91裸聊视频淭here was nowhere to hang out, it was just a very businesses-like setting. So what we wanted to do is after you play VR, you can hang out after,91裸聊视频� he said.
To create a place for people to hang out, Honeyman turned to local businesses and fabricators to buy and make the various tables, table tops and couches that fill the space.
The multiple VR studios allows players to join the same game and work together to find their way out of a virtual escape room.
In addition to letting Honeyman share his passion for games, he hopes the centre will keep the local youth busy doing something they enjoy.
